Are you out there?

Because I'm fine. I think my father's going to fall asleep soon.

Once he falls asleep he usually stays asleep. So nothing's going to happen other than you possibly getting very cold and uncomfortable sitting out in the yard.

[alt_ron]

Well, but you can't be sure, can you? And if he woke up and was cross...

Is he about to drop off because he's tired or about to lose consciousness because he's that drunk?

Sorry. But, yeah.

[alt_sally_anne]

Drunk.

[alt_sally_anne]

But that's better, in a way, because that's why he sleeps so soundly.

I mean he's past the part where he's in a bad mood and he's reached the part where he's just going to fall asleep.

[alt_ron]

Sorry. Thought I heard something.

Just the wind, I guess.

Is he really asleep?

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah, nothing's happening.

I think he's asleep but I'm not going to go check. He's not snoring yet.

[alt_ron]

No! Don't do anything that might wake him up.

But... once he's really asleep... do you think, well, you could come out or I could come in...

[alt_sally_anne]

Maybe I could sneak out?

[alt_ron]

It's really rather cold out here...

[alt_sally_anne]

I could bring a blanket.

[alt_ron]

You could!
